Phase IIa Study of Safety/Feasibility of a Hybrid Model of Tertiary and Community Delivery of Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug, Procedure, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to help learn about the safety and feasibility of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy for those who have colorectal liver metastases, both resectable and unresectable, or unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * safety and feasibility of installing a pump that deliveries chemotherapy to the hepatic artery (the blood vessel that supplies blood to the liver) * help learn more about the safety of patients having pump refills at home or a local clinic versus having it routinely done at the hospital Participants will have surgery to install a pump which is a standard surgical procedure. After surgery, participants will select to either receive treatment at the hospital facility or with a community oncologist that will provide cancer care to participants close to home, rather than in a large hospital or academic medical center. The main treatment on study will last about 3-4 months.

View:

• Colorectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver which is either Unresectable (group A) or Resectable (group B; ie, will be completely resected), AND with no definitive clinical or radiographic evidence of extrahepatic disease other than: metastatic disease to resectable peri-hepatic lymph nodes; up to 5 proven or suspected lung metastases, provided they are stable or responding in number and size for a minimum of 2-months of systemic chemotherapy and are amenable to SBRT or resection. or

• Histologically confirmed unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (group C), with presence of less than 70% liver involvement with no definitive clinical or radiographic evidence of extrahepatic metastatic disease other than resectable perihepatic lymph nodes.

• Patients \> or equal 18 years of age

• ECOG Performance Status of 0 - 1 (APPENDIX C)

• Lab Values \< or equal 14 days prior to study enrollment: absolute neutrophil count \> or equal 1,500/mcL Total Bilirubin \< or equal 1.5 mg/dL AST/ALT \< 5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) Platelets \> or equal 100,000/mcL Creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dL HGB \> 8 g/dL INR \< or equal 1.5

• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.

• For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.

• Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load

• Prior chemotherapy is acceptable if last dose given \> or equal 3 weeks prior to study enrollment

• Any investigational agent is acceptable if last dose administered \> or equal 3 months before study enrollment

• In order for patients to select treatment in the CO arm, they must have the ability to do telehealth visits, either via a home computer, tablet, or smartphone, either via home internet access or cellphone network.
